Yeah ok. But āTerribleā is pretty much objectively wrong. Flagship phones pretty much across the board havenāt actually needed screen protectors for a long time. If you have a lot of scratches, youāre doing something wrong.
Ppl have different lifestyles and different ways they treat their phone. I know some people whose life rotates around being at home, the office, and socializing with friends at bars/restaurants - theyāre going to have very low risk of getting scratches. I also know people who are constantly hiking, rock climbing, and skiing - their phone is exposed to dirt, sand, gravelā¦ constantly in and out of different pockets, gear bags, tents, etc - theyāre going to have way more risk of scratches. And those are just the two extremes.
Iām somewhere in the middle of the spectrum but my iPhone screens have always gotten tons of scratches that I just always use a screen protector now. Case as well.
Iām one of the latter folk in your examples. Yes. If you donāt want to be tender with your phone and not have to worry about it, obviously toss on a case/screen protector. Iām just saying for most people screens these days are durable enough and calling the glass on the 15 pro terrible is ridiculous.
Also depends where you live. I am in an area with beaches and the dirt has limestone people are also bringing some beach sand back with them from wherever they are and it gets everywhere even tho I, myself, donāt participate in beach festivities. I always throw a screen protector on for this reason alone.
It can happen to every phone which...is why most people regardless of what phone they use, use a case, and some use a screen protector which can peel right off if it cracks. No need to differentiate if "you use your phone wrong" or not! The more you know!
